La Cancalaise

Here is a famous three-masted boat, as thin as a boat from the time of the "wooden navy". Built 35 years ago by an association of enthusiasts, La Cancalaise is the exact replica of a "bisquine" from 1905. Powerful and manoeuvrable, these typical sailing boats from the Bay of Cancale were used for trawling, long lines and oyster dredging. Today, La Cancalaise is dedicated to cruising. The ship can accommodate 24 people in addition to the crew. Would you like to discover traditional sailing on board a heritage sailing ship? Take a look at the season schedule to reserve your place. On a guided tour, you can explore the bay of Cancale for half a day, or the Chausey islands with a stopover for a day. The most motivated will be able to participate in the manoeuvres with the crew, steering and hoisting the boat's many sails. No nautical skills are required. All that counts is the love of the sea and the pleasure of the open air.
